I have decided that I’m going to not going to be back on Tumblr for the foreseeable future, mainly because it often just brings me distraction or negativity, and giving it up for Lent has really shown me that I really don’t need it. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the asoue fandom on here, I hope everyone goes on to be great! I’m not going to deactivate, but I don’t think I’m going to come back on anytime soon. ✌🏼

I'd say my biggest dream is meeting Joan Cusack and telling her she should have won a best supporting actress oscar for Addams Family Values.
The most villain epic rant there ever was.
Completely crazy, evil, greedy, over the top, angry, hysterical and…yet..slightly sympathetic.
The family (mostly) agreeing with her points makes it so much more amazing.
This gives off strong asoue vibes
Of course what killed Olaf was the harpoon to the gut not to mention the fungus eating his lungs to the point of coughing up blood but
I like to imagine it’s because he did one (1) good deed and that was so repulsive to his body that it killed him on the spot
klaus, ten years later, still bitter: hey let’s play never have i ever
sunny: when are you going to let this go. it’s been so long–
klaus, interrupting: never have i ever gotten my way with violet simply because i insisted on something

News Reporter: We’re here with eleven-year-old Carmelita Spats who fended off Count Olaf earlier today. How did you do it, Carmelita?
Carmelita Spats: Well, thank you for asking. I used the Bittenbinder method. When I saw Count Olaf approaching, I chewed up a tab of Alka-Seltzer I carry with me at all times. This created a foaming-at-the-mouth appearance that made it look like I had rabies. Now I’ve thrown him off his rhythm. Then, I reach into his jacket pocket where I had planted a gram of coke and I went, “Whoa! What the fuck is this?” And, he goes, “That’s not mine. I’ve never seen that before.” I go, “Boo-hoo, it’s in your jacket. You’re doing two to ten and your kids are going into Social Services.” Now he’s crying! Then I grab a telephone book, and I beat him on the torso with it. Because as any Hinterlands cop will tell you, a phone book doesn’t leave bruises.
News Reporter: Well, that was eleven-year-old Carmelita Spats, currently being sued for police brutality.

Not to be edgy but I’ll never understand the desire to sanitize fiction of any dark or “problematic” aspects to enjoy it, when those aspects are exactly what made the thing compelling to begin with
you do you I guess but god that shit gets boring fast
vfd is basically university
- makes you live away from your parents
- forces you to choose one special academic interest and educates you heavily in said subject
- reading is imperative and the library is a safe haven
- everyone seems to end up getting tattoos
- bias toward aristocracy/superiority surrounding the most intelligent and/or affluent
- takes all of your money, but it’s ok because they may give you some back to continue your projects and time with their organization
- also, your special interest has to eventually be used to generate income of some sort, so that you can continue to contribute financially to the organization for the rest of your life
- half of the people seem to live very loud/crazy lives, and the other half just wants some peace and quiet

some of you may recall the moral ambiguity surrounding the Baudelaire parents during one particular night at the opera, a mystery never fully explained

Things that kill me about ASOUE: Lemony only discovers that his sister is dead while researching the Baudelaires.
The Incredibly Deadly Viper is such a good boi
the best boi
the sweetest and bravest boi
I stan him
In the books, Duncan and Isadora were imprisoned in the tower room of Count Olaf’s house for a while. Handler’s original plan for the series was for the tower room to contain some of the materials the Baudelaires discover in The End (source). I don’t know the timing of when exactly Handler changed this plan, but this suggests he may have written The Vile Village intending to imply that Duncan and Isadora had read those materials, presumably the collective journal A Series of Unfortunate Events, to which the Baudelaire parents had contributed.
Obviously that ultimately isn’t canon to the series, but it’s evidence that I’m right about how Duncan and Isadora are written. They’re supposed to have learned some serious shit. They know a lot more about the setting than the readers ever find out. They’re in deep.
i may have flaws as a person but at least i have good taste in books according to me
you ever get mad about how netflix asoue season 3 clearly did not give a shit about the beatrice reveal despite the fact it was the biggest plot twist of the books
yes freaking yes. and i volunteer it be closely followed by kitlaf being shown in the flashback

i like how writing realistic worlds and characters is so important for so many writers to the point where they agonize over it. meanwhile lemony snicket was just like “death to reality. im gonna write this whole ass series and with god as my witness, absolutely fucking NOBODY is gonna act like a person.”
I get what this post is saying. I do. Objectively, I’m amused, because yep! I’m one of the agonizers.
Thing is, though, for people who were abused and/or neglected as children, we can see one or more of our abusers (as well as the people who either didn’t believe us or stood by watching and did nothing) in many of the Baudelaire children’s abusers and failed guardians.
This is a fair point. The reason ASOUE works is because despite its’ absurdity it still speaks to fundamental truths. Mr. Poe seems like an exaggerated caricature of a useless beurocrat. Justice Strauss seems like an exaggerated caricature of an impotent authority figure. Vice Principal Nero seems like an exaggerated caricature of an indifferent educator. Count Olaf seems like an exaggerated caricature of a cruel and uncaring abuser. But these characters aren’t even all that exaggerated. The real world we live in is filled with those who actively harm vulnerable people (such as children). The real world we live in is filled with those who may not actively harm vulnerable people but are callously indifferent or systematically unable to actually help.
A main lesson of these books is that the world is often a cruel place and that systems invented to fight that cruelty often fail. Everyone in the series acts so absurd to represent how absurd it feels to be abused and to have no one listen. So much of the plot centers around the Baudelaires trying to convince authority figures of abuse that they feel is obvious. Then once they finally do convince these figures, they do not have any power to do anything about it. The world of ASOUE is one where justice is rarely served and our own world truly isn’t much better.
The tea is bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a double edged sword☕️
This is why I find it really sad when I try to show people the show/books and they say that it’s so unrealistic because ‘real people wouldn’t act that way’, like dude, it’s purposeful exaggeration for the purpose of social commentary
The world is quiet here…
